~ True Love ~

 

 

 Tr.u.e. L.o.v.e.

 ‘Bridges’ yet crossed - or even burned

 

That afternoon in autumn,

 

 the Sun began releasing ‘Her Tears of Hope’,

 

 Standing there embracing,

 

looking up, as a light mist caressed our faces…

 

True Love, Indeed… the strongest, matched by no other

Lost in attraction, steady ones breath, are you listening?

Interpersonal love, shaped of elements of fallacy -

Spawns the birth, now borne of Love or Infatuation?

 

Jane Doe: “When we talk, you're always attentive to everything”

John Doe: “I Love how you cook, clean and treat me like a King”

 

Love begins of innocence, nothing short of harmless

Craving sense of mystery, passing boundaries, no expectations

Desire to please; you do not want to possess…

Engulfed in Flames of shadowed passions, your heart at rest!

 

Jane Doe: “You used to dive in, exploring my shores”

John Doe: “You appreciated, respected my Love. Now…you Expect so-much-more.”

 

Choices made, perceptions viewed, push to shove…

Could you spend your life, 24 hours a day with the one you Love?

Can Love last forever…? What do we 'choose' to sacrifice…? Exactly…  

Explore the nature, understanding the function of Love.

 

Jane Doe: “Ashamed I am, concealing pain with silent cries �" you never cared”

John Doe: “You thrive on mind games of torment and despair”

 

Pain vibrates, shattered dreams, crossing lines of gray

Tomorrow, soon will deliver an 'envelope of dismay'

Rhythm of dance, life once treasured, now lost forever…

To each left scars, unseen, chiseled within their soul...

 

Jane Doe: “I guess you never really loved me at all!”

John Doe: “Go ahead and take another picture off the wall!”

 

 

 

On first glance, Love (First Love, for the second time, third or so-on)

We believe this is {True Love}…

 

Is this possible?

Do we have an idea of their favorite color, number, T.V. show and/or what makes them (tick)?

No~… We seem to judge the visible aspects such as appearance, smell, things outwardly that pulls us in.

 

Can Love really be defined?  Does True Love ever fail us?

 Are 'We' willing to work through differences together? (Not by looking in front of 'Us')

 We seem to exclude ourselves �" that’s right… This is a one-way-street, right…?

Love...in all facets -

A development of ‘who we are'...Want to ‘be’...What we can ‘do/be’ for others…

SILENT PROMISE 'ONCE MADE', LEFT DROWNING IN A SOUR GLASS OF WINE... 

Does True Love 'Ever Die'...?

A unique format made this fun to read.....the stanzas in red, to me, are like a narrator speaking his piece, and then his voice fades away in time for the vignettes of dialogue.

I can easily see this acted out on a stage with spot lighting alternating between Jane & John Doe and the narrator, who is off to the side.

A wonderfully insightful write about the cycles of love and human relationships.

very interesting write..seems to me as I read that it progressed from the fullness and comfort in love to the pain and doubt in love..enjoyed the read much..well done.

"TRUE" love does not die. True love gives and takes with mutual respect;. Honest open eyes and hearts are what keeps true love evolving to a better love...one that recognises failings and imperfections will happen. How can true love fail if it carries acceptance and forgiveness to move forward with? I like how you pose the questions of love and the need to quantify it in some way. That is the way in which people will judge and actually do judge the depth of this emotion.You show how this couple devolve within their love.Sadly, this is the way it happens in life all too often. But if love is to be true, I feel the "used to's" need not matter more than the mutual growth to a higher level of beingness as a couple. The "we will be" is always how true love speaks...ever-changing for the better of both. This was a thought provoking entry.

This is absolutely outstanding and in answer to your question... No I dont believe it does we just eventually find a place in our hearts where it just cant hurt us anymore.
Wonderful Read

Does True Love 'Ever Die'...?

--True love is eternal.

Exceptional. Thank you.

[Nancy]

I love this. You are very talanted.

[hannahthemaid]

And tomorrow came
And that dance called our forever
so ceased to be ..

[Belator Books]

I liked the line 'sour glass of wine'. Nice imagery. You could also title this piece 'unanswered questions of the philisophical kind'

While the choppy style was a bit distracting, I think you hit your overall mark. Then again, if you like it, then it is what you wanted it to be.

After reading this I found myself looking in the mirror asking, Does True Love really exist? Yes! No! If it dies it is only so the we can feel it again. No! IF it doesn't die then how do we know that it was acually there. This writing is great. Makes you wonder. HMMMMM!
